Default Re: Knocked off and very angry! :(

Does it feel odd ? . First thing I would check is actual alignment , in a small accident it is easy to upset the front end . I usually undo the clamps slightly but keep the wheel in place at the bottom . I then tighten the bottom clamp and then the top clamp to sort any alignment issues out .

Do the forks stick at all if you bounce the front end ? . Check the forks for leaks or any crinkles in the chrome , only sure way (if nothing is obvious) is to take the forks out and roll them on a known flat surface , you will see any imperfections if they are out at all . What makes you think the forks are damaged ?

Don`t know about frame issues as any accident I had that bent a frame was quite obvious to the naked eye . I am sure others will be along shortly to offer more advice or corrections , mine is just a quick method to make sure alignment is fine before further investigation is required .
